Sports Illustrated and the Associated Press have reported that Las Vegas has been picked as an expansion site.

Fans in Sin City have already started flocking, putting down over 13,00o deposits for season tickets on a team that isn’t even official yet.

Looks almost too pretty for guys smashing in each other’s teeth. Could be fun, though.
